Instant recognition to create the analogy is more important than citing what people might not have read and/or read long enough ago that they wouldn't recognize by memory.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to hate Twilight for all and any reasons, including sparkly vampires being offensive to the vampire genre. I also think it's acceptable to ask why this one is worse than Flowers in the Attic or anythign written by John Saul and John Norman that were standard reading fare when I was a kid.
